I went to work yesterday with my bag of coins for rent in hand. I decided to pay partially in coins and partially in cash. It ended up being $87 in various coins, and the remaining $35 in one dollar bills.....because she never has change for the cash register for when customers purchase retail items, and we always have to scrounge around and make change for them, and figured I could make two points at once....
I went in with my made up sob story, and a sad look on my face. It was hard to keep a straight face as I told the salon owner how sorry I was and really embarrassed, but with business slowing down for winter and with me missing out on new referrals for call ins, my checking account is pretty low, and I had to scratch up the rent this week the best way I could. Told her again how sorry I was, and hopefully business would be better next week so I wouldn't have to use nickels and pennies.....even pooched out my bottom lip a little as I held out the bag to her. I thought my co worker was going to break her leg trying to run to the back to keep from bursting out in laughter.
The salon owner just looked at me for a long minute, and took the bag.
She was really nice to me the rest of the day.....and I still have a job. I think she's too greedy to ask me to leave.....

I don't like your neighbor, Lepplady I don't like my neighbor either. When they were looking at the house, I prayed it wouldn't be them. I just got that vibe that it wouldn't go well. But they bought the house. It's been bad for both parties. It sucks to have neighbors you don't like.

Neesy I know what you mean - though you've got every reason to shed a tear. I've shed a few at they gym. Randy says it's normal. Endorphin rush, tension release. I am pretty buttoned up most all of the time, it's bound to burst out of me at inappropriate times. I wish the SKMB was a cove in my neighborhood and we could all really hang out together.
I'm a horrible person for saying it, but I'm almost glad other neighbors are finally speaking up about not liking this guy's noise. Maybe if we group together in our complaints, something will finally happen.

I don't mind being wrong so much as not being able to tell when it happens.

Yes, me too. I have no idea which of the ugly things I said today finally registered. Most of the time no one around here listens to a word I say.

Football today, or playing outside in the cool autumn air? What's everybody up to today?

Church fall festival all afternoon, evening Mass. I have no idea about dinner, but I'm sure my kids will be starving and cranky and I'll be in no mood to cook. I'm thinking yogurt and ham sandwiches for dinner. It's hot here again, suddenly. Indian Summer at the end of October. Only in the south.
